Coffee is a beloved beverage worldwide, but many people are unaware of the meticulous process involved in making the perfect cup. From peeling and drying to roasting, grinding, and brewing, each step is crucial. The roasting duration and temperature, grinding method, and brewing technique all significantly impact the coffee’s quality and flavor.
Given the complexity of making coffee at home and the time-consuming cleanup, coffee machines have revolutionized home and office coffee consumption. This innovation led to the creation of single-cup coffee systems.
KEURIG, which means “excellence” in Dutch, was founded on the idea that home-brewed coffee should be as fresh as café coffee. The founder questioned why people brew an entire pot when they only drink one cup at a time, leading to the development of KEURIG.
A single-cup coffee system includes a coffee machine and a corresponding coffee package. These packages come in various shapes, such as Nescafe Nespresso’s capsule-shaped aluminum packaging, TASSIMO’s tray-like T-DISCs, and KEURIG’s cup-like K-CUPs.
To use these machines, you simply insert the specially shaped coffee package, and the machine quickly brews a cup of coffee. Afterward, you remove and discard the used package, eliminating the need for cleaning. Over time, these systems have expanded to include other beverages like tea and hot cocoa, making them a convenient choice for many.
